EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S REPORT

FOR MEETING OF: DECEMBER 1, 2014

Proposals

Adoption of an Amendment to the Sphere of Influence for the Padre Dam Municipal Water District (SA13-55) “South Coast Development – Ridge Hill Road Reorganization” (Padre Dam Municipal Water District) (RO13-55)

Proponent

Padre Dam Municipal Water District, by resolution

Description/Justification

Proposed by resolution of the Padre Dam Municipal Water District (MWD) is a

reorganization of an approximate 0.51-acre portion of one unincorporated parcel (Assessor

Parcel Number 398-110-75, totaling approximately 1.0-acre). The subject parcel is

presently located within the sphere of influence and service area of the Padre Dam MWD;

however, a portion of the parcel containing the proposed reorganization area is currently

located within the sphere of influence and service area of the Helix Water District (WD).

The County of San Diego has approved a tentative map (TM5444) and an Environmental

Impact Report (EIR) (SCH No. 2005111013) for the “Lake Jennings Village,” a 160-unit

multi-family residential project that includes the subject parcel and the proposed

reorganization area. The proposed reorganization is intended to consolidate water service

provision from Padre Dam MWD to the residential development and involves: detachment

of the approximate 0.51-acre portion from the Helix WD; an amendment to the Padre Dam

MWD sphere to include the reorganization territory; and, annexation of the proposal area to

the Padre Dam MWD for the provision of water service.

Padre Dam MWD has indicated that adequate capacity exists to extend water services to

the development project. The landowner will finance all costs for the approximate 15-foot

connection to the existing Padre Dam MWD facilities within Rios Canyon Road.

The proposed reorganization area is surrounded by single family residential and

commercial development and will continue to receive fire protection services from the

Lakeside Fire Protection District (FPD) and sewer services from the San Diego County

Sanitation District (SD) following the proposed reorganization.

Padre Dam MWD has determined that, pursuant to Section 15320 of the State CEQA

Guidelines, the proposed reorganization is not subject to the environmental impact

evaluation process because the proposal consists of changes in organization of

government agencies which do not change the area in which previously existing powers

are exercised. The San Diego County Board of Supervisors has adopted a Master

Enterprise District Resolution (MEDR) that will govern the exchange of property taxes

between the affected districts.

Executive Officer Recommendation

(1) Concur in the determination by the Padre Dam Municipal Water District that this

reorganization is exempt from CEQA review pursuant to Section 15320 of the State

CEQA Guidelines because the proposal consists of changes in the organization or

reorganization of local governmental agencies where the changes do not change

the geographical area in which previously existing powers are exercised;

(2) Amend the sphere of influence of the Padre Dam Municipal Water District and

adopt the written Statement of Determinations as shown in Exhibit A;

(3) Approve the “South Coast Development – Ridge Hill Road Reorganization” involving

detachment of the proposal area from the Helix Water District with concurrent

annexation to the Padre Dam Municipal Water District; and,

(4) Adopt the form of resolution approving the sphere amendment and reorganization

for the reasons set forth in the Executive Officer’s Report, waiving the Conducting

Authority proceedings according to Government Code Section 56663(c), and

ordering the reorganization subject to the following conditions:

RECOMMENDED STATEMENT OF DETERMINATIONS

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE LARGER-THAN-DISTRICT

SPHERE OF INFLUENCE FOR THE

PADRE DAM MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT

“South Coast Development – Ridge Hill Road Reorganization”

The following statement of determinations is prepared pursuant to section 56425 of the Government Code for designation of the area shown on the attached map as an amendment to the sphere of influence for the Padre Dam Municipal Water District (MWD).

(1) The present and planned land uses in the area, including agricultural and open space lands.

The proposed sphere amendment area involves an approximate 0.51-acre portion of one unincorporated parcel (Assessor Parcel Number 398-110-75, totaling approximately 1.0-acre). Land uses on the proposal territory are governed by the County of San Diego General Plan and the Lakeside Community Plan.

The present General Plan designation is Village Residential (VR-15 du/ac). The present County of San Diego zoning is RU – Residential Urban (RU-13 12.6 du/ac). The proposal area is surrounded by unincorporated territory with commercial and single-family residential uses; no agricultural or open space uses are present or planned in the area.

(2) The present and probable need for public facilities and services in the area.

The proposed sphere amendment territory is located within the service areas of the Lakeside Fire Protection District (FPD) and the San Diego County Sanitation District (SD) for the provision of structural fire protection services and wastewater services, respectively; no changes to these service arrangements are proposed as part of the subject annexation.

As of 2013, the Lakeside Community Planning Area has an estimated population of 74,471. The 2050 SANDAG Regional Growth Forecast (2010) projects the Lakeside population to increase to 79,242 by the year 2020; however, significant local growth is not anticipated in the next 5 years.

(3) The present capacity of public facilities and adequacy of public services that the agency provides or is authorized to provide.

The Padre Dam MWD has indicated that capacity is available to extend water service to the proposal territory via an approximate 15-foot connection to the existing Padre Dam MWD facilities within Rios Canyon Road.

In 20007, LAFCO determined that the Padre Dam MWD was adequately providing its authorized services and the district’s larger-than-district sphere of influence was affirmed.

(4) The existence of any social or economic communities of interest in the area if the commission determines that they are relevant to the agency.

Social and economic communities of interest are not relevant in considering this amendment to the Padre Dam MWD sphere of influence.

(5) For an update of a sphere of influence of a city or special district that provides public facilities or services related to sewers, municipal and industrial water, or structural fire protection, that occurs pursuant to subdivision (g) on or after July 1, 2012, the present and probable need for those public facilities and services of any disadvantaged unincorporated communities within the existing sphere of influence.

The proposed sphere amendment and reorganization does not involve an update to the sphere of influence for the Padre Dam MWD. A disadvantaged unincorporated community is defined as an unincorporated area, containing at least 12 registered voters where the annual median household income is 80 percent or less of the statewide annual median ($46,166 or less in 2010). Refer to the SB244 Local Agency Matrix approved by the San Diego Local Agency Formation Commission on March 4, 2013 for the status of disadvantaged unincorporated communities and the Padre Dam MWD.
